Domestic Partners entitled to Retiree Benefits

[Guest robkt]

I am concerned about offering QDP coverage in retiree benefits. Currently, an employee can transition into retiree benefits if they meet years of service and age requirements. Specifically, under QDP there is an imputed income - how would it work and can it work,as a dependent of a retiree (QDP)?

We allow our retirees to cover domestic partners. However, we only contribute toward the cost of the retiree's coverage - any dependent coverage is paid for entirely by the retiree whether its a spouse, dependent child or domestic partner. Because of this, there is no imputed income problem.
